◎Chapter 17 Xanadu

As the sun set, the twilight was vast, and the sound of a flute came from a distance, with a melancholy that was as faint as a fog. Near the pavilion, a lotus-shaped lamp lit up, and immediately, all the lights in the scenic area on the mountain were lit up. The whole mountain is dotted with stars, and it is magnificent. The evening breeze is gentle, the air is fresh, and there is a very sweet peach taste.

Professor Liang said, "You're dead. ”

The man let out an "ah", looking a little surprised.

Hualong has been watching vigilantly, if this person is not Section Chief Yang, then who will it be, is it the murderer? Bao Chop walked around the pavilion, observing something, it was obvious that this was the scene of the murder, but after deliberate disguise and camouflage, the ground and pillars were cleaned.

Professor Liang pointed to the chessboard and said, "You're dead, can't you see it?" ”

The man dropped the piece and said, "Ah, yes, I lost." ”

Professor Liang said, "You are not Section Chief Yang. ”

The man said, "How do you know?" ”

Professor Liang said: "It is recorded in the case file that Section Chief Yang is a national first-class chess player, how can he be so vulnerable? ”

The man said, "That's right, I'm pretending, I'm not Section Chief Yang, I'm Teacher Qin from Taoyuan Village Primary School." ”

Professor Leung looked at the man, who was in his forties, wore glasses, and didn't look like he was lying. If you want to talk, honesty is the most effective way, Professor Liang also directly identified his identity as a policeman, and introduced the other three members of the special case team to Mr. Qin, but Mr. Qin was not surprised at all, he said that he had known for a long time, and he had been waiting for the arrival of the special case team while sitting here.

Su Mei asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Teacher Qin took out his mobile phone and showed the special case team a text message above: "Wuling County Public Security Bureau Announcement: Recently, a major homicide case occurred in our county, which has been confirmed by the public security organs, is purely false, please do not believe it, the relevant responsible person has been dealt with, if there are those who spread rumors, they will be severely punished." On September 22, 2007, villagers involved in the road blockade in Taoyuan Village asked the public security organs to turn themselves in and seek leniency. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Wuling County Public Security Bureau wishes the people of the county a happy family and all the best! ”

Obviously, this text message was sent by the local public security bureau, and every resident in the county has received it.

Professor Liang sneered: "If you want to cover it, there are no three hundred taels of silver here." ”

Bao Shu asked: "What's the matter with blocking the road in Taoyuan Village?" ”

Teacher Qin glanced at the moon, sighed and said, "This matter is a long story, let's go to my house first, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Teacher Qin lives in Taoyuan Village Primary School, several people drove over together, the mountain road is rugged, the peach forest on both sides of the road is a golden moon, the peach trees here are very short, only more than one person tall, heavy big peaches bend the branches, within reach.

Rotten Keting is very close to Taoyuan Village Primary School, and it will be there in a while. When everyone got out of the car, they saw a dilapidated campus, with walls crumbling in several places, classroom doors still patched, and windows pasted with newspapers, on which you could see the news from years ago. There is a hundred-year-old peach tree in the middle of the courtyard, the branches are staggered, thick and tall, the two ropes on the top hang a section of rails, can play the role of class bell when striking, the tree bears a huge peach, the scientific name of the peach is peach, there is the name of "fairy peach".

Teacher Qin moved a few desks under the tree, and in the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he put on a sumptuous dinner, with all kinds of wine and meat on the table, all kinds of fruits, and a variety of patterns. Professor Liang originally wanted to pay Mr. Qin, but seeing that he was not an ordinary person in his speech and demeanor, he had to give up this idea so as not to be abrupt.

Teacher Qin raised his glass and said, "You are guests, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I drank this bar first." ”

Professor Liang and Hualong drank it all, Su Mei didn't know how to drink, and Bao Chu didn't know why he had been wary of Teacher Qin, so he also claimed that he couldn't drink and pushed him over.

Teacher Qin picked up the wine glass again, and he read a poem:

Under the moon, the wind slashes with a knife, and the clouds sink on the side of the red flower.

Drunk drunk in front of the rotten Keting, and the waist is tied to the thief's head Liangshan!

Professor Liang asked, "You wrote this poem?" ”

Teacher Qin nodded.

A cricket in the corner cranked, and then the one under the peach tree cranked.

According to Mr. Qin, Taoyuan Village Primary School is very small, with only two teachers, a principal, and dozens of students, all of whom are children in the village.

We should pay tribute to the volunteer teachers in the impoverished areas, those who are unknown and who have made great contributions to China's education.

Since Tao Yuanming wrote "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", for thousands of years, many literati and writers have researched where this paradise is, but there has been no conclusion. At present, there are more than 30 places in the country vying for the title of "Peach Blossom Spring", and even Taiwan has a Peach Blossom Spring, all hoping to bring benefits to the local economy.

Wuling County is the first area to declare the cultural heritage of Taohuayuan to the United Nations.

The local government vigorously develops tourism and spends huge sums of money to build the Peach Blossom Source Scenic Area, and Wuling County uses the "Xanadu" as a local tourism signboard to attract tourists and domestic and foreign businessmen to develop and invest. The construction of the whole scenic area in three phases has created dozens of scenic spots, such as Rotten Keting, Qinren Cave, Sudden Terrace, Pantao Yao Pond, Peach Blossom Villa, Cai Ju Academy, Jiuqu Bamboo Corridor, Wuliu Lake, Mijin Ferry, Diaoyu Pond and so on.

Demolition and resettlement is the focus of the first phase of the project, and Taoyuan Village is within the scope of demolition and reconstruction. The government promised generous conditions to compensate and resettle villagers in the city in accordance with the principle of "housing for housing", and also paid pension insurance and rental subsidies for villagers, but the local villagers were reluctant to move out, no one signed the contract, and even the village chief took the lead in resisting the demolition.

The local people are fierce, once a thief entered the village to steal cattle and was beaten to death, and the elder brother went to get the corpse and was beaten to death by the villagers.

During the first forced demolition, the government was driven away by villagers with hoes, blocked the road, and injured several demolition workers. The police arrested the village chief, and the villagers began to gather in front of the county party compound to protest, but were dispersed by the police.

Su Mei picked up a big peach and said while eating: "Why refuse, aren't the conditions in the city better?" ”

Teacher Qin said disdainfully, "Do you think everyone wants to go to your city? ”

Teacher Qin began to explain "The Peach Blossom Garden" like a lesson to primary school students, "The Winning Clan is chaotic and the sages avoid the world", and the Peach Blossom Garden has almost all the dreams of the Chinese, no war, no male ploughing and female weaving, no urban hustle and bustle, no earthly troubles. Why is "Peach Blossom Garden" so famous, because this paradise is the ideal world in the hearts of Chinese.

The villagers grow peaches for a living, and although they are not rich, they live happily.

People living in cities feel anxious and uneasy all the time. In those indifferent reinforced concrete residential buildings, people have lived for several years and don't know who their neighbors are. There was a death next door, and the neighbor's door was still closed, and no one cared.

Even if the villagers of Taoyuan Village move into the city, they are still a group of farmers living in the city.

In this era when it is difficult for college students to find a job, hawkers will be overturned by the chengguan when they set up stalls on the streets, how do those villagers adapt and live in the city?

Professor Liang looked around and said, "This is indeed a good place to retreat, and it should be beautiful in spring, right?" ”

Teacher Qin didn't answer immediately, but closed his eyes, and after a while, said: "Not only spring, all year round, you don't believe it, I close my eyes, I can see the chrysanthemums on the side of the mountain road, the bamboo by the pond, and the peach blossoms all over the mountain." ”

Su Mei said, "I believe it." ”

Bao Chop said: "That scarecrow was placed in the peach orchard, I guess, not to scare birds, but to scare people." ”

Hualong asked, "Who killed Section Chief Yang?" ”

Teacher Qin became frightened, nodded, and he said something.

The day before the human fur man case, Hong Kong developers, accompanied by the head of Taoyuan Township, Mr. Yang, the head of the Tourism Bureau, and the director of the Demolition and Relocation Office, inspected the prospects for tourism development in Taoyuan Village.

The reporter of the county television station followed the report, and the camera was pointed at several big-bellied officials, and there were some people who gave them umbrellas behind them, who crossed their waists and were full of spirit, pointing at the country.

There is a picture that did not appear in the evening news, the reporter interviewed a person who was boiling rosin on the side of the road, the person was wearing a hat and a mask, wearing a green military uniform, the camera was pointed at him, and he looked at Wu Township Chief, Yang Section Chief and the director of the Demolition and Relocation Office, the reporter asked him what he thought about the local development of tourism, he smiled and said in an understated tone -

Whoever demolishes my house, I'll skin him!"

Professor Liang asked, "How did you know about this?" ”

Teacher Qin said embarrassedly: "I was at the scene, and at that time, I was standing behind Township Chief Wu and giving him an umbrella. ”

Bao Shu asked, "Who is this person who boils rosin?" ”

Teacher Qin shook his head and said, "He is wearing a mask and a hat, and I don't know him, and he doesn't sound like a local villager with an accent." ”

Bao Chu asked again: "Where were you on the night of the crime?" ”

Teacher Qin took out a platform ticket and the hospital's bill, he explained: "This elementary school will be demolished soon, Teacher Tao is from other places, on the same day, he went to the city's train station to send Teacher Tao home, back to the county It was 10 o'clock in the evening, he went to the hospital to stay all night, because the first forced demolition, the principal was also injured." ”

Hualong said: "Who asked you to pretend to be Section Chief Yang?" ”

Teacher Qin said, "Public Security Bureau." ”

After the extraordinarily serious homicide case occurred in Wuling County, people were panicked for a while, and the public security bureau concealed the news and sent mass text messages to appease the panicked people. However, the township police station had already reported the case to the highest public security department, and the local government was worried that the intervention of the higher authorities would affect the demolition process, so it held a meeting to discuss and decided to hide the case to the end and let the special case team leave.

In many places, when there are major casualties, the first thing the local government does is hide the truth.

Before the special case team came to Wuling County, they had already falsified the materials, claiming that it was a prank. After the special case team left the public security bureau building, the local traffic police were also secretly tracking, and when they saw the special case team's car driving towards Taoyuan Township, they began to panic, and after urgent discussion, someone proposed to let Mr. Qin pretend to be Section Chief Yang, because Mr. Qin and Section Chief Yang are about the same age and look alike, and the local government even did the work of Section Chief Yang's family, as well as let the township police station avoid it, and the whole scam can be described as painstaking.

Professor Liang said: "If the impersonation is not very successful, will it be any disadvantage to you? ”

Teacher Qin said: "Tomorrow, this primary school will be demolished, and the village will no longer exist, so what does it matter to me!" ”

Mr. Qin told the special case team that after the failure of the first forced demolition, the local government, together with the Public Security Bureau, the urban management, the security brigade and the construction company, will forcibly demolish Taoyuan Village again tomorrow.

The four members of the special case team all had a premonition that something big would happen tomorrow, and that night, they lived in Taoyuan Village Primary School.

At night, Teacher Qin played the flute alone in the empty campus for a while, which sounded very sad. Then, Teacher Qin picked up two pillows from his dormitory and sent them to Su Mei and Professor Liang who were sleeping in the car, and Hualong and Bao Shu slept on the desk in the classroom, and the two of them couldn't sleep, looking at a line of words on the blackboard in a daze, which read:

The best building should be a school!

Drawing Dragon told Bao Chu about his previous story, and Painted Dragon said that he had two partners before, and once, the three of them were stranded on a deserted island, where there were no trees, no grass, bare, nothing. Drawing the dragon asked Bao Shu, "Do you know how we escaped?" ”

Bao Chu thought for a while and said, "I don't know." ”

"You wouldn't think of it, we use turtles as boats," he said. ”

Bao Shu asked: "Who came up with this solution?" ”

"A special forces soldier who has been retired for many years, and a policeman who grew up in the police station......"

Bao asked, "Where are they now?" ”

The painting dragon stopped talking, he remembered a lot of the past, and after a while, he fell asleep in a daze, he drank a lot of wine, and his head hurt a little. In the dream, the dragon saw three people driving a turtle-made boat on the sea, and a golden flying fish jumped up, fell into the water, and disappeared.

At dawn, before dawn, it was still dark outside, and the sound of the rooster crowing woke up the dragon, and he walked to the courtyard of the elementary school, sleepy-eyed, and in a daze, he rubbed his eyes and was startled when he saw a person hanging from the peach tree. Walking closer, Hualong couldn't help but be stunned and shuddered, no matter what, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

The man hanging from the tree turned out to be Bao Chop!
